A Rough aud Tumble Fight nrinss ON
an Exciting fusiIsde.

Yesterday morning, about 1890 O'Clock,
there was intense excitement near the
corner Of Georgia street and Kentucky
avenue, and people in that part Of the city
for the time thought the war had broken
out airesh. Two loud reports from pistol,
quickly followed by fusiladc from several
shotguns and the running and screaming
of men near by, was enough 10 justify the
telephone message sent 10 police head.
quarters that four men were killed and
several more were lying around near the
scene bleeding their lives away. scrgts
Hcdrick, Horan, Justice Barry and several
other officers hastily mounted horses and
went at a brcakn"ck speed through the
streets 10 the scene. But when they
got there they found that there had only
been bloodlcss battle. II seems that
Patrick Griffin, who has grading con
tract ON the streets above named, had n
difficulty with driver Of one Of his street
scrapers. The driver resisted, and was
about getting the best Of his boss when he
pulled q pistol and fired two Intellectual
shots nj him. This inccnscd several other
OF the laborcrs, all Of whom ARE colOrcd,
and they attacked Griffin, one Of them
firing doublc-baueled shotgun nj him,
but without effect. The officers arrested
Griffin and later the negroes, who gave
their names as Frank shaw, Fred Davis
and Henry Barr. All are charged with
shooting with intent TO kill.

Los Angeles daily herald., 1887-09-18

A LETTER has been received here
from an Angelefio, who spends much
of his time up in Nevada looking after
his big cattle ranch, which contains
information of an encouraging nature
relating to the Carson and Colorado
railway. The writer had seen Col.
Yerrington, OF that road, a few days
ago, and the Colonel assured him that
his road would build at once to Mo-
jave, thus forming IA junction with the
Southern Pacific and also with the
California Central to Los Angeles.
Our Angelefio friend also saw large
amount OF iron on the ground which
seemed to be for use in this extension.
The completion of this road will open
up very good market for a large
amount of our products. All Western
and Central Nevada will be brought to
our doors. The road will probably be
extended towards the north to a con-
nection with the Oregon roads, and
that would open to lis the whole Of
the great territory in our extreme
northwest. Salt Lake City.is earnest
in her advocacy Of a road to run
through Central Utah, and thus di-
rectly southwest to Los Angeles. This
line will pass through another very
promising section of country and
open more markets for the fruits and
early vegetables of South California.

city. One point Of compariso--. IS prr;b-
ably as good as another, lie. W, take
the police force as an iav,tration.
pittsbzrg, Pennsylvania, with popu-
lation of 10000 souls, has 800 police
men to guard the peace. San Fran
cisco, with SOC, 900 population, en-
ploys 400 policemen. Los Angeles
has over 10000 people within her
gates, and she has on her police force
only ~ men. The respective ratios oi
these three cities are one to each 540
of population, one to each $50 and one
to each 1875. To make matters right
the smaller city requires more police
men in proportion to the population
than the larger one does. With us
it is reversed, and it would be
hard to see any reason why Los An
geles should be less easily taken care
of than is Pittsburg or San Francisco.
This is in some respects a frontier
city, and we get good many people
from the territories during the year.
Again the city is spread over a very
wide area, a fact which of course adds
to the difficulty of taking care of it.
We do not intend to convey the inn
preston that there is any existing
condition of things here which calls
loudly for an increase of the police
force. The idea is rather one of tax
ing time by the forelock, and provid-
ing against something which might
occur. AS it is the city is remarkably
quiet, and life and property could
hardly be safer in any community in
the land.
